Description: Bioart Kitchen by Lindsay Kelley Bioart Kitchen builds toward an inclusive, expansive history of biological art organized around three moments in time: the simultaneous emergence of home economics, tissue culture methodologies, and domestic computing in the early twentieth century; feminist art of the 1970s, with a focus on food art; and contemporary artistic engagements with bio FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description What do new technologies taste like? A growing number of contemporary artists are working with food, live materials and scientific processes, in order to explore and challenge the ways in which manipulation of biological materials informs our cooking and eating. Bioart, or biological art, uses biotech methods to manipulate living systems, from tissues to ecologies. While most critiques of bioart emphasise the influences of new media, digital media, and genetics, this book takes a bold, alternative approach. Bioart Kitchen explores a wide spectrum of seemingly unconnected subjects, which, when brought together, offer a more inclusive, expansive history of bioart, namely: home economics; the feminist art of the 1970s; tissue culture methodologies; domestic computing; and contemporary artistic engagements with biotechnology. Author Biography Lindsay Kelley is a practicing artist and Associate Lecturer at the College of the Fine Arts, University of South Wales (Australia).

Eduardo Kacs GFP Bunny, invisible jellyfish bodies, and somalumenal encounters Chapter 10Digesting Wetlands Natalie Jeremijenkos Cross(x)Species Adventure Club, molecular gastronomy, and the human microbiome imaginary Chapter 11Plumpinon Recipe for reciprocal capture among people, trees, and starvation foods Chapter 12Dysphagiac Eating without swallowing: feeding the tube Review Bioart Kitchen plays with the industrial food system-taking familiar products off the shelf and making them strange. Chicken soup, Coke, peanut butter, canned food, and corn syrup will never taste the same. Kelleys collection of recipes brings feminist sensibilities to home economics-showing how the kitchen has long been a space of subversion, performance, and innovation. - Eben Kirksey, Australian Research Council Fellow, University of New South Wales, and author of Emergent Ecologies (Duke University Press, 2015); This fascinating tome mixes appliance lore, technological food scares, feminist fists raised in protest, artists pot lucks and the Neiman Marcus cafeteria into its eclectic "menu!" Study it, learn from it. If you have not already juiced your breakfast, try one of Kelleys recipes. This important read adds to a growing shelf of books that show how earlier feminist art set the stage for younger artists today engaged with social justice and food. Weaving in personal experiences, from her earliest memories of eating bologna processed into perfect circles, to the fascinating epilogue that describes her grandfathers enteral tube feeding, Bioart Kitchen brings intimate, alimentary, feminist and technological stands together with insight and creativity. - Linda Mary Montano, performance artist; The Bioart Kitchen knots together research and display practices with the threads of art, biology, technology, and activism. I am hungry for this nourishment, and Kelley is a superb cook. The arts of eating are at stake in this book in many senses, and I stayed gladly for the full menu. - Donna Haraway, Distinguished Professor Emerita, University of California at Santa Cruz Details ISBN1784534137 Author Lindsay Kelley Series International Library Of Modern And Contemporary Art ISBN-10 1784534137 ISBN-13 9781784534134 Format Hardcover Media Book Short Title BIOART KITCHEN Language English DEWEY 709.05 Subtitle Art, Feminism and Technoscience Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Year 2016 Publication Date 2016-04-30 Imprint I.B.
